Buyers remorse and seller/builder's recourse

Seeking a little advice as what to do next...I'm the builder/seller of a new construction home. Home was under contract and set to close yesterday March 19th 2020. Buyers agent notify me Monday March 16th buyers were withdrawing from contract, here is where it gets complicated. Buyers put into escrow 1000.00 due diligence and I understand that I have a right to that monies. We wrote a nonrefundable change order for upgrades to deck railing and carpet in guest bedrooms with then knowing if they backed out they would lose that money. We also agreed to pay an allowance and they pay the rest for custom closet cabinetry, which was also nonrefundable. Now they are refusing to sign termination of contract form which will get me the due diligence check but more importantly house back on MLS. Time to obtain legal counsel?
